Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan are bound together by strong ties of friendship and brotherhood, which stem from common spiritual values, said President Aliyev. "The present level of Azerbaijan-Uzbekistan relations and our mutually beneficial cooperation, based on these unshakable foundations, that is expanding day by day, is particularly gratifying."
"I am confident that Azerbaijan-Uzbekistan friendship and strategic partnership, strengthened by our rich national and moral values, will continue to develop and strengthen in line with the will of our fraternal peoples," he noted.
"Dear Shavkat Miromonovich, I wish you strong health, happiness, new accomplishments in your high state activities in the interest of the well-being and prosperity of the brotherly Republic of Uzbekistan," the Azerbaijani leader added.
